I wasn't very hooked into the discourse around the first trailer for Three Houses, but my partner and I were immediately excited by it: it set up the world, the basic philosophical conflicts, established Edelgard and what she was doing and why, and gave us ideas about the tone the story would have. Everything we needed was right thereTo be fair, the same could be said about Three Houses first trailer.
More generally, if there's something to learn about the whole TH pre-release and launch cycle, it is that 1st impressions can be very deceiving. Opinion only turned around on TH through leaks and launch.
Engage's first trailer, if judged on the same criteria, is focused on establishing elements for why this game's story is more about uplifting the past than it is establishing a new setting, which in comparison is very unexciting
You would consider Fire Emblem Heroes a mainline game, then? Because it's giving me a lot of those vibesWell it was suppose to release around the 30th anniversary as a celebration title but covid happened so it makes sense to "summon heroes". Also outside of the 2 warrior games, recent endeavors, FE does not do spinoffs (TMS is technically a new IP), all games are mainline, even remakes.
Well it be written as 3H? Idk, maybe/maybe not, we don't have enough to go on (curious of the staff on this project). At the very least its a holdover until, if rumors are true, FE4 comes around the corner.
And a less-compelling game being followed up with a remake, however well-written, just isn't as fun or exciting to me as a new game with a focus on interesting storytelling and character relationships
